mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0,

Seems to me I might have duplicated a report at bug74080. Is this a contributing factor for Nilmoni's problem at bug75030 ? This report needs more information (lots more). What sort of filesystem did you try to format it as --- FAT, ext2, something else? What program did you use to format it? What do you mean by "use as normal" --- there are many different ways to mount a disk? Closed after 6 months with no response to a request for information. Please reopen if you can supply more details. |
